This inherent curiosity led me to become a scientist. I studied Chemistry but soon enough I realized that being a chemist makes a huge mess or at least I made one in the lab! Fortunately, I then realized that computers exist and they make things much cleaner. I discovered that today it is possible to build chemicals, study reactions, or even make drugs within a desktop computer by performing virtual experiments in a similar way as the typical chemists. This type of chemistry is called “computational chemistry”. So I became a computational chemist. Indeed, I literally live in a virtual reality world, where everything from chemical reactions to drugs, food, materials, cosmetics, electronics, and proteins is being modeled and simulated. And you won’t believe it, but, yes, I do have a job!

I am a group leader at the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens. I specialize in “computer-aided drug design”, so the computer is my Virgil in the world of drugs (to paraphrase the original Nobel Committee tagline). The main activity of my lab is the design of anti-cancer candidate drugs. Recent advances in computer-aided drug design allow us to develop drugs specifically designed for a given protein, shortening the development cycle of new drugs.

Do you want to learn more about what it means to be a computational chemist and how I spend my day? For more details and a video on the life of a computational chemist, please read my full blog post at the Wiley Exchanges site.

Simply wish to say your article is as surprising.
The clearness in your post is simply spectacular and i can assume you’re an expert on this
subject. Fine with your permission allow me

Thanks a million and please continue the rewarding
work.

It’s both one of the most entertaining and powerful
weapons in the game. Thankfully, the hacking mini-game is short and sweet-click your mouse to stop
a rapidly moving needle on green and blue zones (from 1 to 5
times) in order to hack a device. Note that I don’t
believe there’s a concrete benefit for killing him, it seems to mainly be there for roleplaying.

Lawrence, who is infuriated, reports that she is feeling very violated, calling it a ‘flagrant violation of privacy.

It can be one of your exes, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your spouse, or
it can be just about anyone who wants to play a prank
on you. Soccer goals are an integral part of your gaming practice and
play.
